Happy Thanksgiving

Filed under: The C. O.

If I could give one blessing on this day of family and love it would be this:

To all those who awakened today under the cloud of cancer, whether as a patient fighting hard, or as a family member, or as a diligent caregiver, or a nurse, doctor, neighbor, friend from church or even just one who read a touching story in the newspaper - may you be strengthened and uplifted by the massive power that resides within the hearts of all those around you who love. They have given so much, yet each sacrifice made, each act of kindness is but a mere grain of sand removed from the boundless water’s edge. The supply of mercy stored within us is as vast as the ocean’s horizon, and like the horizon, its end can never be reached.

  2. That was a wonderful thanksgiving wish.
    I pray for my Onc. and the nurses all the time.
    May God Bless you, Cheerful Oncologist!

  3. Okay … I know that there are at least two missing posts! (Or was it three?)

    Cut off comments if you feel you need to, but please don’t stop posting … or retract things because someone is razzing you. If you do that, they win.

    Your posts are intersting, well written, and I’ve come to enjoy dropping in on you once or twice a day to see if you’ve added anything. I felt badly when I read about the hassle a few posts ago … and was hoping it would soon be resolved.

    Cheerful, I’m not sure that the “fellow” who’s sitting on those domain names will like this, but you should be flattered that someone has so completely wrapped his life around you. Such untiring devotion on the fellow’s part must speak of a deep, undying emotion. It’s too bad that he has such a puerile way of showing it …

    Hang in there, and please don’t let him to get you.

  4. Please forgive me. I got confused and thought I was on a different blog. Must be incipient Alzheimers … *blush* ;-)
